Hi expats
I recently moved back to the UK after 2 years living in Paris. I never quite got the hang of the French tax system and about 2 years later I was sent a tax bill. I've paid the tax but have recently received another demand saying that I owe the French tax authorities a further 40% fine on the top for late payment. Do I have to pay it - what happens if you don't?
Also I am concerned that they might surprise me with more tax fines for other years, although I've received no notification of how much I owe and I'm not sure how to calculate it. Would you expect to receive the original tax bill first before they start to apply fines?
Experienced advice appreciated,
A
